[QUOTE="Muso, post: 7758769, member: 6787914"] Wow, I am into the lion's den surrounded by enemies :) OK, D&D team cannot copletely focus on that small market, but they should almost partially focus on it because their fan-base asked for old settings. And Mearls&Co continued to talk about the old settings from the Next's play-test times. Somehow they made us desire the old settings and a part of us (not the majority, I am not saying this) are asking for them. P.s. sorry, but the level of your PCs is irrilevent in a general discussion. We are not talking of your game pace. If my informations are correct, Spelljammer didn't sell so much in the past. Even if, I must admit, it was pretty brilliant with a lot of good ideas. But we was talking about commercial gambles, and Spelljammer, for example, didn't sell as much as Planescape. Good point. I partially agree with your point of view, but I also think that in any case Ravnica is a calculated risk. If I am not wrong, people playing Magic is lots more than people playing D&D. Even if a small ammount of the people playing Magic will buy the new book, it will be a commercial success. Expecially with the new Ravnica sets for Magic coming out almost at the same time. And some D&D people will buy the Ravnica setting as well. So, don't call it a leap of faith. Another good point. In particular I feel combated regarding your last sentence. Basically I hope that only Eberron will be successful in order to show to the designers that settings other than the FR can sell a lot, but also that we don't like so much this D&D/Magic cross-over. But I fear that I will proven wrong. The whole game's business world was much poorer at running business at that time. For sure Hasbro looks like a giant in comparison. Let's hope that WotC is not about to miss again... disappointing the fan-base for some commercial ideas was at the base of the 4E failure. Apparently 5E was different... until Ravnica. [/QUOTE]
